Help ! Finally got the speed sensor and got the car on the mechanics ramp . Disaster strikes. Whilst removing the old sensor, it has sheared off and is now stuck in the gearbox! Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry, to say but the gear box might to come out to get better access.

Not the first time it’s snapped in position

Kit

I presume it is flush with gearbox now ?
Is there anything sticking up to grab hold of ?
Do you have a spare , ready to go in ?

Mechanic informs me it’s gearbox out
Oh well so be it ...

Oh dear, might as well change the clutch too while everything is off ?

UPDATE .... mechanics managed to finally get the broken sensor out without removing the gearbox
New sensor now fitted and Speedo & Cruise now up and running

Can I ask was the Speedo and cruise not working before you changed the sensor or just cruise?

Both mate

Like the distributor these items just 'fail' for no good reason.
On age rather than mileage covered , which is really weird.
They don't have a lot to do , just go round , produce 'pulses' , that's it.
